Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 12 - Demons v Freo Sun June 2nd 1pm AEST (TIO)

[Obeanie1]

Selling home games working out as per normal for the Dees.

Embarassing.

Would have to question selling MCG home games to Alice Springs. Especially v Freo who are contending and would draw a crowd to the MCG simply because it would be two top 8 teams.

 

[2big sound]

But nevertheless..etched in history for all eternity.

Whata you got? A make believe club with an ancient Russian themed song.

A foundation membership and the best song in the comp.

 

[Shane Heard]

We have a game on here.

A foundation membership and the best song in the comp.

EFC ..foundation club, 1872

Giants. An afl invention.

Tigs songs a 1000 times better than yours

 

[kriles76]

Multiple injuries to star Dons players.

Watson, Vander and a host of others.

Get your hand off it

Well, there’s a cup at our club that says 1986 premiers on it.

And I’ve placed both hands on it.

 

[Captivating]

A foundation membership and the best song in the comp.

You've got good players, but your club, home ground and supporters are a joke. 13 seasons in and it's an accomplishment to get more than 10,000 at the Showgrounds.

 

[MickG88]

Harrison Petty:
1 kick
1 mark
1 handball
3 frees against.
3 clangers.

Quite an achievement, that.

Definitely worth a late first/early second.

 

[Elixuh]

Are the Dees actually missing anyone "good" apart from Lever?

And I used the word "good" quite generously there...

The big three are on their injury list.

Schache, Melksham and Spargo.

 

[Arr0w]

Well done Dockers, absolutely owned the Demons

But I'm sure danster is blaming the umpires for that narrow loss

 

[underthestars]

well another team we softened up. from round 1 on, any team lucky enough to beat us loses next week.
sure bet for punters.

 

[MickG88]

Well that was somewhat surprising a result.

Did not see a blow out like that coming.

Did someone spike the Dees players drinks last night or something?

Weird. Obviously one team turned up to play.

No, someone forgot the lines.

So it has taken Collingwood 130 years to get where it is in a "footy" heartland and you expect the Giants to be huge in 13 years? Giants' crowds were growing well until Covid caused a huge drop off. We are in the middle of NRL heartland up against four big NRL clubs and two A-League clubs. We will get there.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

What the **** happened in this game? Not so much Freo winning an upset, but by 92 points…

 

[danster168]

I already corrected you on this but am not bringing the quotes from other threads up again.

I said Geelong are in the finals mix (I've stayed steady on my prediction of 6th all year) and for now we still are. You're the one who actually thought your side was flag-bound.

I mentioned that I thought Geelogn was overrated when they were undefeated. You just jump in the match day threads post-result. Not exactly a burn.

I never thought we were flag bound. I just said that we're better than Geelong

 

[Fat Nyfe]

yeah they are now. After we were all over them until the Neal-Bullen non decision swung the game. A real sliding doors moment.

**** these umpires.

Hey guys maybe next time save the victim complex for a game you’re actually competitive in?

 

[danster168]

you were uncompetitive, until that decision. don't forget that.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

you were uncompetitive, until that decision. don't forget that.

Oh it will be burnt in my mind forever. I will lie awake thinking what could have happened, if an umpire decision from the first 10 mins of a game went the other way, in a game we won by 92 points.

I didn't say anything about huge in 13 years. But after 13 years, you've made no progress in improving attendances.

After 13 years the Swans were lucky to get 5,000 to a game.

A week later you said Geelong were the form team of the competition, so you were all over the shop. I never go early on my team at that stage of the season. They were in the mix chasing a top 4 spot, now 5th-8th is looking more likely despite being 3rd after 12 games.

You seriously, seriously overrated Melbourne but finally you are realising I was right about them. No finals won since regular football seasons returned.

 

[tiger_tough]

Goals are going to be a premium. I see a slippery shod-fest of hard, contested footy. First team to score three straight wins.

 

[RAPPA]

Petty’s only kick, mark and goal came from a Fritsch gifted pass to him in the goal square. He’s not even VFL standard. Dees should’ve taken Adelaide’s offer as he’s not even worth a used square of toilet paper.

 

[Farang83150]

So did melb only loose because they played SO badly, nothing to do with the opo team playing well...as described by (danster) melb supporters everytime they loose?

 

[Worm4]

Well done Dockers, absolutely owned the Demons

5 Certainties in life -
We are born
We pay taxes
We die
Danster blaming umpires
Fadge backing Carlton to miss the top 8

lol you said the dees were in the top group of teams

No, they ‘loosed’ nothing, they didn't loosen their shoestrings, they didn’t cut loose, they didn’t have a loose checking moment and they had no man loose in defence.

They did LOSE because the LOSERS didn’t turn up, the LOSERS were certain to LOSE because the Alice Springs hotel has no room service - they're a bunch of LOSERS.
